Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL526/2025

The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed because it was brought significantly out of time with no satisfactory explanation or justification for an extension of time, and because the application failed to identify any particularised public law grounds that were reasonably arguable and had a realistic prospect of success; additionally the Form 86 and affirmation did not comply with mandatory requirements.
